Bambusa ventricosa
 

Growing to a height of 15m this upright clumping bamboo has small leaves and an erect nature. Individual canes can get to 55mm in diameter and are fattened around the 'nodes' along the cane. It is cold, wind and drought tolerant and grows slow at first but faster as it matures.
